Villager of Daming

Chapter 1022: Policy adjustment and gunpowder extension

The guards who need to be rotated eat a half-full meal. They go to take over for other brothers and only stand guard at night. After eating, they go into the tent and fall asleep. They don't eat dinner. They sleep for four hours before getting up to change guard and then eat again after being relieved.

The prince and the officials do not need to do anything else. The officials of the palace help handle the trivial matters of Taiyuan Palace. In fact, it is a disguised audit, and it will not work even if they are not allowed to help.

The sergeants sent to various places have a good understanding of the situation of the local people, conduct statistics, summarize and report it.

Those with or without household registration will be given a household registration, and the general situation of each household will be described, and then classified through tables.

"Speaking of which, your Majesty's move of sending sergeants to places was a great move!"

The officials looked at each other. Wang Shitong, the magistrate of Taiyuan County, took the initiative to speak out. Everyone was silent watching the singing and dancing. It was too embarrassing. Just now, the prince and the village chief spoke, and now...

"Yes, yes! The sergeant came down with a pamphlet. He not only taught the people how to read, but also taught them planting, breeding, simple medical treatment, and health defense."

Guo Lingzhong, the magistrate of Qingyuan County, agreed. The magistrate has the lowest status and has the chiefs of other villages. They stay far away for fear that they will not be able to speak.

The army's inspection department, Qianhu, etc. are military positions and don't care about warm-up matters!

"Don't make clichés, or you can just drink your soup quietly!"

Zhaomo Lu Yu looked up at Zhu Fan, looking eager to raise his hand to speak.

"Sure!" Zhu Fan nodded.

Like Zuo Shiyi, Zuo Shiyi was at the emperor's side and his rank was very low, just like the eight-rank official Zhaomo.

Zuo Shiyi can impeach ministers, and he won't make any concessions to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It would be easy to make a move with Zhao Mo...

"Yes, yes!" This time it was the turn of Liu Yunli, the magistrate of Quyang County: "The most obvious thing is that the people get sick less and drink boiled water; there are more poultry at home, and artificial incubation is better; and when you meet people, they speak in an organized manner. Knowledge has been enriched; support for our Majesty has become stronger; thoughts have improved; children have been born..."

Other officials: "..."

There is no need to take the imperial examination for the county magistrate. There is no need for it. Let’s do something practical.

He couldn't trust the village chiefs. When bridges and roads needed to be repaired, and a project was decided, he had to arrange for people and even go there to see the situation in person.

"Lu Zhaomo, tell me." Zhu Fan nodded.

The last thing they want is to let Zhaomo speak. Zhaomo's responsibilities include reviewing, auditing, verifying, and correcting officials.

Lu Yu explained and then expressed his thoughts.

When Zhu Fan heard the other party's words, he felt very familiar. Xiaqiu Village sometimes liked to tease him like this, saying that he was practicing his language organization skills to prepare for the imperial examination in the future.

"I'm not asking whether it's appropriate to say it or not. I wonder if Your Highness can ask the sergeants to cooperate in reporting the things that can be easily obtained around each place. When the people are asked to work in the mansion, it will be convenient for review. I and my subordinates are few."

The sergeants who came down were obviously more secure. They took a look and when they were waiting to use it, they not only knew the price, but also considered transporting it from other places.

He was looking back: "Your Highness, I have something that I don't know about..."

When asked alone, Lu Zhaomo needed to stand up to reply. He stood up and looked around, and saw pitiful looks.

There are many stones in the local road construction and the road surface is not undulating, so the cost is low.

"Uh..." Zhu Fan hesitated. The sergeants were not under his control. This matter was relatively big, and the sergeants had extra work.

"The chief is sending a telegram to my father?" Zhu Fang asked for his younger brother.

"Okay, your highness, go and send a telegram and tell your majesty that the sergeant will help the local government calculate the pros and cons of surrounding land, vegetation, animals and other resources." The commander knew that he had to come forward for this, so he made arrangements for all places at once, not just in Taiyuan Prefecture. land.

"I'll go." A young man stood up. Linger and Xie Qiaoer were chatting! Can't draw my hand away.

"I'll go with you." Another boy also left. One person sent the report, and the other helped find the words.

Zhu Fan said to Lu Yu: "It's done. We can ask them to do it now. The court order will come later. We can ask the sergeants. We cannot call them. We have our own army."

He also explained why he did not give the order directly. He needed to avoid suspicion and develop good habits.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Lu Zhaomo bowed and sat back on the chair.

The officials, as well as the military generals, once again felt the power of Xiaqiu Village. The prince had to ask Zhu Lichang for help if he had something to do. No wonder the enemy wanted to alienate him.

When Xie Cheng saw someone going to send a telegram, he hesitated: "Your Highness, would you like to tell me about the eagle in the telegram?"

"Don't tell me. There's no need to tell me. You can write a question book and send it to me. It's your duty. We have to listen to the elders on the road. We are children."

Zhu Di took over the words at this time. It was not convenient for his brother to say this to his father-in-law.

"Yes!" Zhu Fan agreed.

Someone else writes a note or sends a telegram to explain? There is no need to do anything else in the future. A group of people all write notes and explain one by one?
The village chief said from the side: "Your Highness, please remind the sergeants of Taiyuan Prefecture that if outsiders enter the village, try not to cause direct conflict and strengthen defense. If you don't remind them, they may be taken advantage of."

"Huh?" Zhu Fan sat up straight: "They are still running, right? Indeed, if they are not caught, they will go round and round into the village, and unsuspecting villagers will be killed.

Let the villagers arm themselves. The sergeants know how to form formations and understand morale. If I had known how to send bows and arrows to the village, I can do it now..."

"Third brother, there are some in the mansion, and there are even more in the Taiyuan Duwei's treasury. The muskets were taken back and melted after the change. The crossbows and arrows are still there. Taiyuan Mansion is an important military place."

Zhu Ming reminded his younger brother, you have a lot of them. Keep the fire blunderbuss to waste and melt them into the furnace. The bows and crossbows cannot be melted into the furnace, and the arrows cannot be melted back into the furnace without taking out the arrowheads. The bows and crossbows still have value if they have arrows.

"Distribute it downwards, distribute it according to the population, register it, arm it, and you can still hunt in peacetime.

Yes, just do it, we have the final say. In the future, people will migrate further north. Everyone will bring weapons and enter the grassland without fear.

oops! It's a pity that the gunpowder was used. The formula of black gunpowder was different from that of later ones. It was less powerful and was mixed together, making it impossible to tell them apart. "

Zhu Fan's eyes lit up. He could make the decision and it had nothing to do with the court. His fiefdom could give whatever he wanted to the people.

Even the father would not say a word about the trouble of transferring the government and his own army. How can the prince do it without military power?
"Sister Qiao'er, we'll talk later." Ling'er said to Xie Qiao'er, then turned around and said, "Your Highness, the original gunpowder can be used, please give us the proportions of the previous formula.

Or it can be burned and exploded in equal amounts. We can analyze the ratio and add new materials to adjust it. The power will be good.

Throwing it into the river will fry a large piece of fish, but don't fry the fish. The fish fry will not spare the small fish.

There is no problem in exploding rocks. It is best to use double fuses. When one is ignited and the squib is turned off, ignite the other one. Keep the two fuses as far apart as possible and lengthen the wire. "

"Yes, we forgot about Xiaqiu Village and just played like this. Can we do it in the afternoon?" Zhu Fan smiled.

"Build a safe place first. I don't want to be blown to death. It's so hot. You have to be careful when moving it. Forget it, let the craftsmen who have made gunpowder move it."

Ling'er emphasized safety, but she was worried about the others. God knows what's going on with the gunpowder in the warehouse now.
